متن کاملNumerical study of the thermoelectric power factor in ultra-thin Si nanowires
Low dimensional structures have demonstrated improved thermoelectric (TE) performance because of a drastic reduction in their thermal conductivity, κl . This has been observed for a variety of materials, even for traditionally poor thermoelectrics such as silicon. Other than the reduction in κl , further improvements in the TE figure of merit ZT could potentially originate from the thermoelectr...
متن کاملAtomistic calculations of the electronic, thermal, and thermoelectric properties of ultra-thin Si layers
Low-dimensional semiconductors are considered promising candidates for thermoelectric applications with enhanced performance because of a drastic reduction in their thermal conductivity, κl , and possibilities of enhanced power factors. This is also the case for traditionally poor thermoelectric materials such as silicon. This work presents atomistic simulations for the electronic, thermal, and...
متن کاملStructure, strain and stability of ultra-thin Ge layers in Si/Ge/Si axial heterojunction nanowires
The abrupt heterointerfaces in the Si/Ge materials system presents useful possibilities for electronic device engineering because the band structure can be affected by strain induced by the lattice mismatch. In planar layers, heterointerfaces with abrupt composition changes are difficult to realize without introducing misfit dislocations. However, in catalytically grown nanowires, abrupt hetero...
متن کاملGated Si nanowires for large thermoelectric power factors
We investigate the effect of electrostatic gating on the thermoelectric power factor of p-type Si nanowires (NWs) of up to 20nm in diameter in the [100], [110] and [111] crystallographic transport orientations. We use atomistic tight-binding simulations for the calculation of the NW electronic structure, coupled to linearized Boltzmann transport equation for the calculation of the thermoelectri...
